Forum kit is SHIPPING!

[BumbleBeeDave]

Latest info from Kurt at Verge . . .

122 separate packages are shipping out. He started over the weekend and is finishing today because he needed help. Get that . . . he spent his weekend getting our stuff to us.

He indicates some may get their packages as early as tomorrow. But all is shipping as soon as he can get it out the door.

Thanks for the follow-up Dave.

Let's hope they all fit well. (If not, I predict a few trade offers on the forum.)

[sc53]

Great news Dave! And thanks to Kurt for working all weekend. If my jerseys don't fit I wonder who will trade for a women's jersey?

This may have been covered before, but are they shipping USPS or UPS or FedEx?

. . . but all BikeReg orders except for 5 were shipped out today, according to Kurt.

Why would method of shipment be an issue?

BBD

Fedex is the only shipper (unless there are special instructions) that wont leave stuff on my porch, which tends to be a bit of a hassle for me, no big deal really, but sometimes its good to know ahead of time.

I see what you mean, but at this point it's too late. Almost all orders are already shipped. But I will keep it in mind for the future.

I believe when Verge shipped our local club's kit it was USPS.

Flat rate envelopes are beautiful things.

Return the jerseys - the logo's too high up on the back. One can barely read the "It's why we ride" at the top of the shield. It needs to be shifted down about 30 mm. :p

[ckamp]

I look forward to getting mine as well! we do have 60,795 members, 122 packages is rather low! (0.2%). Thanks again for all the hard work!

I received my red color Forum kit and it is great. But, unfortunately the jersey and vest are to big for me. :crap:

BumbleBeeDave, are there exchanges allowed?

Does anyone want to trade their 2XL for my 3XL?

Have:
---- (1) Elite Short Sleeve Jersey Men's Club Cut - 3XL
---- (1) Elite Entropa Unisex Vest - 3XL

Need:
---- (1) Elite Short Sleeve Jersey Men's Club Cut - 2XL

Thanks for your help,

I hope that in the midst of all this admiring of the new kit, you stop to say a big thanks to Mrs. Fixed --Jeanne-- who so graciously DONATED her graphic design experience and services to the forum so that we all could have this nice looking stuff to show off and represent the forum.

Thank you, Jeanne! You are definitely THE BEST and Mr. Fixed is darn lucky to have you!

BBD

i second what dave said, having gotten the kit, the design is as good as i've seen. Mrs Fixed is a true professional, no doubt about that. a real pro job done on these. exceeded my expectations. sincere thank you from me :hello:

Got mine. Thanks Mr. and Ms. Fixed and BBD. Great job!

[swg]

Followed the fit guidelines very carefully and measured my best fitting jerseys. The sizes were borderline so I ordered the larger size to be sure. To no avail the XL jerseys I received are too small. Looks like the large bibs will fit fine but what do I wear them with?

I will go back and check the size guidelines and measure the jerseys I received to see if they match. I probably made a mistake but I also only have L & XL jerseys in my drawers.

I will put them up for sale after I check things out. Hopefully someone will be able to put them to use.

Bummed :(

Now I wish I would have ordered some more. Anyone got a 2XL that doesn't work for them? I'll buy it!

Received kit jersey and bib shorts yesterday. Great work folks. I love the colors and graphics. I will wear it tomorrow cruising up Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park.

I don't know if I'd use the word "cruising" for that ride, though.

Whenever I do that loop I "cruise" right by the turnoff to the summit!

Have a good one

[Bruce K]

Great choice on the chamois Dave !!! :hello:

50 miles of pure bliss this AM.

:banana: :beer:

BK

PS: I went with the XL race cut since we opted not to do Sport Cut. The are a touch snugger than I had hoped but they are definitely "Race Cut". Super fabric and they will get used. It turns out if I had bought Large Club Cut I would have hated it - Medium Club Cut = Large Sport Cut (just as we figured out). Most of my other jerseys these days are Large Sport/Club cut.

[Tonger]

Heartfelt appreciation to the Fixeds, BBD, and the forum sponsors for all their hard work and planning. The final product is terrific and absolutely reflects the care and effort of these people.

Thanks!

[sc53]

Mine arrived in Alexandria VA today via Priority Mail--thanks Kurt, BBD, and most of all Jeanne and Fixed for making this happen! The stuff is very high quality, the jerseys have zippers with VERGE sculpted/cut out on the tab, and I guessed RIGHT on the sizes! I ordered one race cut (the red one) and one club cut (the grey one) and both fit well. The club cut is longer but not too long. The vest has a really nice fleece lined collar. I got unisex size large and it is snug but not terribly so. PS that acorn you see embedded in my elbow is the remains of a hematoma/burst bursa I got 7 weeks ago from lightly knocking my elbow on a protrusion on my bike rack [I posted a pic on the "hematoma" thread; this is just OT follow-up]

[1centaur]

I went L race cut and it's perfectly snug on my currently 6' 150 lbs body.

Looks great. I was representin' today for 46 miles that constituted my first ride since I broke my collar bone six weeks ago. 8 inch plate; 10 screws.

[sokyroadie]

Got mine yesterday great fit - wore it today.

Thanks to: Mr. and Ms. Fixed (Jeanne) and BBD.

Wish I had ordered more :crap:

[Zoomie80]

My red jersey (Med club cut) came in the mail yesterday. Tried it on as soon as I got home from work...and it fits! I was a little nervous about the fit since my jerseys have all been size L. Great graphics and fabric--will wear this a lot. High-5s to BBD, Ms Fixed, and Verge!

Cheers,
Zoomie

[mandasol]

I want to give a big thanks to all involved :beer: Love my kit and fit is good, now I just wished I had bought the full kit. Anyone want to sell their Arm & Knee warmers?

Seems there are others that want to trade, sell or buy so I put together a google spreadsheet if that's O.K. with the Mods. I tried to make it as simple as possible with drop down lists (click on a cell, then click on the down arrow and a list will pop up).

I went through the thread and listed everyone that posted so far - if you want to add yourself, change or update I set it so that anyone can make changes. If you goof up, click on File>See Revision History and back up your changes.

https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlbLTsQIbsvKdExiVERLdFRwUHFWSnZneEhNZ1h0c Hc&hl=en_US

Thanks again...

When my USPS box got here one end was somewhat crudely taped shut and one of my four items (a jersey) was missing. The included packing list correctly identified the four things I had ordered & paid for, but only three made it.

Also, who's traditionally responsible when something like this happens - the USPS who presumably lost the jersey when the box opened in transit, or the sender, who did not do a very good job of ensuring that the package was sealed properly?

Louis

[Keith A]

mandasol -- Great idea on the spreadsheet...thanks for setting this up.

Louis -- Typically the shipper has to initiate the claim. Contact BBDave and see if he can help you with this.

Well, I live in So. Jersey and haven't seen my red kit yet. Geez, TX are getting their's and mine is nowhere to be found. Booooo hooooo.

Wore my bibs this morning on a short 20 miler. Much better than I expected! I had some old Verge shorts years ago and these are so much better.

wore mine today as well. the kit and fabric looks so pro.

based on the measurements available i crossed my fingers and sized down from my usual S and got XS bibs and XS race cut jersey. was perfect.

btw, i may have missed it, but what is the "banned" text on the collar all about?

Of course, the ultimate disgrace is to get banned from the Forum! Actually, it must be pretty hard to do because I'm still trying and Serotta Pete hasn't banned me yet! :rolleyes:

This was from him at end of day yesterday.

Thanks for the info...holding tight then :)

P.S., BBD, speaking for myself at least, no need for Kurt to rush or go to additional shipping expense...not that critical and besides we got a hurricane comin' down on us, so probably won't be riding this weekend.

[jr59]

really good to hear that I am not the only one!

I didn't receive my order either. Given the shipping snafu, I'll wait until Monday or Tuesday to worry.

Thanks to Mr & Mrs fixed, Dave and all the others that helped in this project!

They look great!

[merlinmurph]

But, I forgot I ordered it in the first place. :)
No problem, I'll give it another week.

[Bruce K]

Some stuff got returned to Verge for some reason or another and was being re-shipped.

That wave of items appears to be starting to arrive where it was supposed to be.

I would suggest giving it until the middle of next week and then letting BBDave know if there are still any lingering issues.

Verge seems to be working with Dave to resolve any problems so that is good news.

BK

[krazygl00]

Got mine today! Sweet!

[Pete Serotta]

RED and VERY nice

[rdparadise]

Got my red Serotta Forum kit today, I ordered large and they fit perfectly. I believe I ordered the club cut.

I guess it took an extra week due to being returned for a bad address or something, not sure exactly. Anyway, all red and now we have two days of Irene rain so my debut ride is going to have to wait until Tuesday.

I'll post pics when I wear it for it's maiden voyage.

Thanks again Dave and Fix's wife for all the hard work. Totally satisfied!

Of course, right after I say it hasn't arrived yet, it shows up. Looks great.
